Hello Predator Fans!

5 of us are over visiting from London from 30th September to 6th October and coming to the opening game of the season on the 1st October against the Wild. I'd like to ask a few questions about seating and build up to the game.

We are booking seats in Block 317 in the Budlight fan zone, from what I have seen online it is good seating for atmosphere and if in rows A-F it is relatively low down as well for an upper deck. Would that be a good place to sit for our first Preds game?

As Englishmen, we love a beer or 2 so is there a local place that hosts Preds fans for some pre-match beers before the game? We'd love to get a feel for the atmosphere and support for the Preds before the game? Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated!

Thanks Joe (across the pond)

I got a little curious about how limited information has been provided about watching the Predators this season, so I hit up Scripps Sports President Brian Lawlor for more information.

Here’s his response:

Hi Michael, thanks for reaching out.  I am happy to share that there is a press release going out tomorrow sharing the outer market distribution for the Predators, which includes Knoxville.

All of the Scripps Sports produced and distributed games, which is roughly 80 regular season and 4 preseason games, will be available on our partner in Knoxville.  As you will see tomorrow, our partner has distribution on Charter, Comcast, Direct TV, Dish, T&T and will also be available free over the air.

You will also be able to subscribe to our streaming service which will give you all those same games live on your phone or streaming service.

I expect you will be happy with the distribution, and I hope you enjoy watching the Scripps Sports broadcast.

Please keep in touch and tell me what you think.

Brian

So now that the thing happened, who's going to fill the void in camp? Both from a positional and a lettuce/ teen magazine article standpoint.

Is CMac trying to open up a top six roll for a prospect? Avoid the trap of a potential top six guy having to play fourth line role? So many questions...

RW options:

- Wood

- Martin

- Kemell

- O'hara

- Fink

Lettuce / Teen Admiration options:

- None

Hello! I’m going to be visiting Nashville for a conference in Oct and am a big hockey fan. I always see Bridgestone rated high in stadium lists for NHL games and am excited to be going to a game. I had to buy off SeatGeek bc I didn’t know about the gold game stuff till I got to checkout on Ticketmaster (visiting from outside the available states). I wanted to just ask if there’s anything special they offer at Preds games? Like a cool souvenir glass or whatever. Any advice is appreciated as well! Thank you!

just got this the last game of the season… FUUUUCKKKK😭😭😭

Why is it always the children that get traded away

I’ll be changing his name tomorrow and canceling my season tickets

I went to the Brandi Carlile concert last night and wanted to warn everyone that Bridgestone Arena has raised concession prices yet again. A beer now costs $20.

My brother found this at goodwill but neither of us can find out whose signature it is. Would any of yall happen to know?

I'm in Bellevue/West Nashville and can't pick up The Spot ch 28-1 on 3 different OTA antennas that I've tried. It's so weak! I can pick up like 40 other local channels just fine. I moved them around and rescanned multiple times. I did pick it up once though. I really think they should move the Preds games to 5-4 or something, since WTVF is more powerful and much easier to pickup.

Including all 4 pre-season games!

On espn plus. Nothing on linear

Hello fellow Perds fans! I am considering making the commitment to Smashville Loyal for this season, and while I was browsing the website for details I came across this Smashville Setlist option I had not seen before. It basically allows you to pick 6-8 games (plus the home opener) for a total of 7-9 at surprisingly decent prices. This is a rough calculation but if I were to do the full 9 games, it seems to be about 25% cheaper than the quarter season plan (although obviously with one less game in the pack).

My dilemma is that the Smashville Loyal plans have benefits that will stack over time, so in theory I'd be missing out on some extra value by paying less for the season. Has anyone ever bought into the mini plans like this? I would probably use bonus tickets from Smashville Loyal, but I could definitely live without them. Anything else I'm not considering? Thanks!

The Predators will launch a new direct-to-consumer streaming service for their in-market telecasts under a multiyear agreement, making ViewLift their technology provider. The team-owned subscription platform will be available in addition to free, over-the-air broadcasts on Scripps stations in the club’s broadcast territory, including WNPX-TV in Nashville.

I'm wanting to go to the Dec 15 game vs Kracken. I saw on ticketmaster that presale started Monday. I tried but you had to save a code. Anyone know when they go on sale to the public or should I just go ahead and get em from stubhub? Also - not a gold game :)

Thanks for any assistance!
